Thumbnails Freehand MX

In Windows 7 64 bit  Freehand MX (11.0.2) installation by default does not display thumbnail in windows explorer thumbnail view. Is there a way to fix it?

Is this happening only in FreeHand?
Keyboard languages are set in System Preferences>International>Input Menu. Then check on the language(s)  I don't know if this helps if only FreeHand is affected though.

  • Freehand crashes in Snow Leopard when opening files

    If you have the problem of Freehand MX etc crashing when opening files in Snow Leopard then this is for you.
    In the Freehand application folder is a application callled (Freehand Clip Art Viewer) open this and use it to navigate to you file location, have Freehand open. Then just double click on the thumbnail of your file and it will open without any crash report.
    Would pay to add this to the dock beside the Freehand Icon.
    After an hour on the phone help desk advised me that freehand has been upgraded to Illustrator... Some people dont want this and i hope its helps a few hardcore Freehand nutters :-)

    Thanks for the tip. I'll add another.
    I've come across a few old-version FH files with missing fonts that would crash FH.
    I use FontAgent Pro, with auto-activation turned on, as my font manager. Usually there's no problem. FAP activates unactivated fonts and the file opens properly.
    However, I think that Snow Leopard sometimes incorrectly deals with font info in old FH files, and this can lead to a crash. 
    I find that if I open the FontAgent Pro application window first, and then open the problem file in FH, there's no crash. I get Freehand's 'missing font' dialog and am able to select an alternate font.

  • Process Color Tint: Illustrator versus Freehand

    I'm a FreeHand user from the first hour and now I'm forced to start working with AI which gives me the creeps!
    In FH it is very easy to create a "tint" of a spot or process color. in AI, I only manage to do so with spot colors and not with process colors. For example, I have an object filled with 100% process color from the Swatches panel. Now I can change its transparency to 50% but that's not what I want; I want it to be filled with 50% of that same process color. In FH that's a piece of a cake. And even so in ID! why not in AI?

    You need to use Global Process swatches, which are essentially process colors that function as spots.
    In the Swatches palette, in List View, you should see a grey square next to the color model square (in Thumbnail view you will see a white dog-eared lower right corner of the swatch with no dot (the dot denotes a Spot).
    In the Color palette you can change the tint of your Global Process color just as you can with a Spot. If you want to make a Tint Swatch, set it to some value, say 40%, and click the New Swatch button at the bottom of the Swatches palette (second from the right at the bottom).
    Now when you edit your base color, all the tints change along with it.
    Note: this will not magically apply the color to your art. It is best done at the beginning or while you are working, NOT as an afterthought. If you have existing art you should probably look at Live Color to get you by.
    PS: Sorry if I came off brusque, but it's disheartening how often people come in here immediately bashing AI. I personally hate Freehand (and I had to use it for a long time) but it has no relevance to these discussions. And I'm not saying it didn't have its good stuff, it did - I just never cared for it compared to AI.

  • In Photoshop Express, cannot sort images in album by filename in thumbnail view (for slideshow)l.

    In Photoshop Express, I want images to appear sorted by filename.  In the "view as a table" it sorts fine.  When I revert to the thumbnail view, the arrangement is random.  The dropdown "show" list does not offer an option for showing by filename.  If I select the"custom" option, it means I would need to sort 300 images by filename MANUALLY (!!!), a job that a computer does in milliseconds.  Anyone with a solution?  Thanks.

    fwiw, with my images in the 'Folder Location' view the photos are in order by their Windows filename. That is the same order as the hardcopy album the photos came from. So I then created a PSE Album. I selected all my photos and moved them into that album. The order of the pictures was retained in the Album. That worked out great. I wanted my PSE images to be in the same order. I thought I would do it with tags. But creating an album seems to work just fine.

  • How do I move page order in Thumbnails view in the new pages? (which is driving me nuts btw)

    I'm really struggling with the new pages, having used the old version so much I just can't get the hang of this one - so much has changed:( Really wish I hadn't bothered but now have too many documents created in it that I can't open on old version as it doesn't let you (mump mump - well I am scottish).
    So in the old version I used thumbnail view to move about the order of the pages (really useful when making up artwork for magazines etc). Anyone know how to do it on the new version?
    Also can't seem to view document in '2 up' - 2 pages side by side (also very handy for magazines etc).
    Also the tables facility doesn't let you move borders of individual cells - you can only move the whole column - I can't even select them.
    I could go on but will go before I start the 'pages shake'.

    Hilary,
    Scottish or not, your best option is to retreat to the last good version of the app, Pages '09.
    Cut your losses.

  • How is the best way to restore Thumbnails?

    I'm an experienced Mac user and have used iPhoto since it began. I have carefully arranged my iPhoto collection over the years so it has always served me well. I am currently running iPhoto 11.
    Yesterday, out of the blue, when I started iPhoto I received a notice that there were "inconsistencies" in my iPhoto collection and I should hit the button to fix them now. I did. After quite a few minutes that was done, and then I was asked to authorize updating my Thumbnails. Again I said OK. That took about a half hour. When complete I found all of my events had been rearranged, but were at least visible.
    I decided the quickest way to fix that was to go back to an earlier iPhotos file (in Pictures folder) on my Time Machine. I restored that and used it. My arrangement was OK, but many of my thumbnails were now missing. Their dotted line locations and titles were present, but not the thumbnail photo. After trying over and over again I could not restore all of those thumbnails (perhaps 33% of them). I used the "rebuilding thumbnails" and "rebuilding the database" techniques which are part of iPhoto, but neither worked at all.
    What to do? I read on this site that someone else had made his thumbnails return by manipulating each each one in some way (he rotated his). I tried that, closed iPhoto, and then reopened it and Voilá! the thumbnail had returned. The problem is I have many hundreds like that, and manipulating each one is extremely tedious. I've done quite a lot of those now, but wonder if someone knows of a better way?
    Any suggestions about how to restore all of my thumbnails without one-by-one manipulating?

    make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the fix below:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    If neither of the options above are successful try option #2. It often requires a 2-3 passes to get all of them.

  • How can I access the thumbnail/preview image of a PSD file?

    Hey guys I'm trying to salvage some work from a corrupted PSD file via the thumbnail. What happened was I saved my work and closed photoshop and hit the reset button on my PC afterwards by mistake (i dont see why this caused a problem because the program was fully closed at the time). When I open the file now it says it uses an unsupported blending mode, if i press ok I get an error saying incompatible PS version, if I press flatten it says unexpected end of file was encountered. Ive tried PSD repair tools and searched the net for solutions and there doesnt seem to be any - Ive pretty much given up on trying to repair the original file.
    The thing is, the thumbnail of the file seems to be intact because I can still see it as the file icon. I wanted to know if there was any way i can access this thumbnail image so i can enlarge it. Any help would be very appreciated!!

    I have an idea to try...  Earlier I mentioned the Windows Picture Viewer...  Normally that won't read PSD files, but I'm used to using that to look into PSD files because at one point I bought the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack.
    Something to try, and it won't cost anything:
    1.  Try downloading and installing the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack from here:  http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/
    2.  Once it's installed you get a free trial period, so you can try opening your PSD file by right-clicking on it and choosing Preview.
    If that fails, here's another thing to try:
    Open the Bridge component of Photoshop and navigate to the folder in which you have the file.  It may be able to make a larger thumbnail than the one you're seeing.
    Other than that, are you saying you're seeing the thumbnail in Windows Explorer?  If that's the case, what happens if you right-click in the white space near the file and choose View - Extra Large Icons?

  • In Pages 5, why are page thumbnails different sizes?

    So I'm using 5. And I must say I think it's brilliantly done after a long period of ******** about it. I guess I'm not asking of it anything it doesn't provide and what it does it does very well - though I'm puzzled by the behavior of selecting text via the keyboard.
    Anyhow, that's not my question. I'm working with a long text document. I notice that as I work the page thumbnails become different sizes. It's subtle but it's clearly intentional. I reckon it's trying to tell me something but I don't know what. Haven't been able to find any info in the manual and was wondering if any of you clever people here might know. Thanks.

    This is what I meant about how rude you are though.  Your answer DOESN'T EXPLAIN ANY OF THE BEHAVIOUR myself or the other person were reporting.  The only assumption that I can make is that you posted here for the sole purpose of implying that we are both mistaken or stupid. 
    How is this helpful at all? 
    How do you have 32,485 points when you are obviously more concerned with insulting people than helping them out?  It puts the lie to the whole idea of "Apple Support Communities." 
    Also, I specifically informed you that your comments were insulting and unhelpful and politely requested you not post on this thread anymore or at least until you had some kind of actual information, yet here you are.  Posting again, with no content other than the implied insult.
    I'm not stupid.  I know what a section break is, I know what a page break is.  I'm a writer who has used innumerable word processing programs over the years and have been an IT worker for 10 years now. 
    I have a Pages document.  It has no (or only one depending on your point of view), section(s).  It has page breaks only.  The pagination is set to start at "1" on the first page and proceed normally to the end of the document (300 or so pages).  I am using Pages 5.5.2 on a brand new iMac.  I have NONE of the previous or older versions/types of Pages on my computer. 
    The pages thumbnails on the side, do actually CHANGE SIZE randomly as I am editing the document.   These differing sizes are NOT CORRELATED WITH THE BEGINNING OR ENDING OF SECTIONS.  These size changes are also NOT CORRELATED WITH THE PAGE BREAKS (in case you were about to argue the similarity of page breaks and section breaks).  As I work through the document and scroll up and down editing here or there, the size of the thumbnails RANDOMLY CHANGE SIZE.  Sometimes this is correlated with me working on a section, sometimes I can work on a section and no change happens at all.  The thumbnails that change size often change back again when I scroll back to them later on. 
    So please ... Try to act like a decent human being and either help out, or go away.  STOP POSTING THAT WE ARE WRONG, when you DON'T in fact know we are wrong.  STOP INSULTING ME by assuming I am stupid. 
    Why are you even here if you don't want to actually HELP anyone? 
    To anyone else reading this:  I am having a real bad time with this fellow who is just the most insulting person I have met for a while, however many of my posts about him are being deleted.  If anyone knows (including the mods of this forum) of the proper way to REPORT or get rid of a troll/abuser like him on Apple Support Communities or a place to report his behaviour, please let me know. 

  • Photo gallery with Thumbnail View in Flex 3

    Hello everyone
    I very urgently need an answer to a very simple qeuestoon. I have been trying really hard since days to get a solution to this simple problem but in vain.
    I am building an application in Flex 3. I simply want to create a photo gallery with a thumbnail where when the user clicks on a thumbnail, the image is shown in the canvas/tab navigator box next to it. The images are stored in a local folder (in src) are ARE NOT on available on any web link.
    The Vbox with the thumb image and the .xml file has been created. But when I click on the thumbnail, the full image cannot be seen in the application. I dont know if this is a problem with data binding or what.
    Please help!!!
    Thanks a ton.

    Check the folder structure
    Flash is not able to get some file thats why the IO Error.
    trace the url path just before u load the file and u will be abel to find whether that file is in specified folder or not.

  • Photo gallery created in Bridge doesn't display thumbnails and links work but don't display photos

    The gallery works in preview and in live view in Dreamweaver, but not when posted to the website. I did one last week which worked just fine, and nothing has been updated in either CS 5.5 or the server software.

    Try to recreate the thumbnails for that folder.
    Use the latest version of the converter (5.4)

  • Photo Gallery thumbnails in business catalyst render in different sizes in different browsers

    Photo Gallery thumbnails in business catalyst render in different sizes in safari and chrome but are fine in firefox. What is the issue with Safari? I have tried the different algorithm options such as fill_proportional etc and firefox is the only browser that displays correctly. I thought safari was the most standards compatible browser - what's the problem here?

    Hi,
    If you have seperate XML file but with the same basic structure then you can change the XML a Spry dataset refers to and regenerate the spry region without reloading the full page.
    So on my photo gallery page I can change the album the photos are shown from via the seturl sprydata function as below.  dsPhotos being my Spry dataset that points to the relevant XML dataset with my image references and captions etc.  My XML is actually dynamically generated from Picasa RSS feeds (and RSS feeds are XML) but the principle will be the same with your static XML.
    First I add an event listener for when someone clicks on an album (the li tag within my div with the id "albums" holds a photo and title for each album.)
    function Albums()
    var myalbums = Spry.$$("#albums li", "TabbedPanels1")
    var rows = dsAlbums.getData();
    var setListener = function( element, value )
      Spry.Utils.addEventListener( element, "click", function(){ showAlbum( value ); },false );
    for( var i = 0, length = myalbums.length; i < length; i++ )
      setListener( myalbums[i], i );
    Then this is the code which changes the photo album to be shown. (when the user clicks the relevant album)
    function showAlbum(i)
    pauseShow();
    pImage = 'No';
    var rows = dsAlbums.getData();
    var albumid = rows[i]["albumid"];
    var url = "xml/PicasaAphotoFeed.asp?albumid=" + albumid;
    dsPhotos.setURL(url);
    dsPhotos.loadData();
    var rowcount = dsAlbums.getRowCount() - 1;
    var nextalbum;
    var navnext;
    var n;
    The page is here www.thehmc.co.uk/photo5.html is you want to see it in context.
    In your case showAlbum would switch between Frank.xml or Wolfie.xml depending on how you decide to name your xml datasets.

  • Drag and Drop (re-order) Thumbnails in Organizer

    I am using Photoshop Elements version 5.0.2
    I would like to re-order pictures in an order that will make sense for me in my business. I suppose I can go through each pix and change the time on them, so I can then sort by time stamp.
    Is there an easier way to do this? I was hopeful that I could drag and drop them in Thumbnail view - but I cannot.
    Thank you,
    Jamie

    >Is there anyway to delete the photos in the main well, without losing them from my collection?
    As I understand the design, the main well is intended to be all the photos that you are managing with Photoshop Elements.
    Collections are used to display a specific group of those photos in your chosen sequence for any given activity.
    I suspect that since you are using a consumer product such as Photoshop Elements for your business purpose, you may need to make some compromises like having a default (the main photo well) display sequence which you see first when starting PSE that is not what you would choose.
    This is not bad if PSE does what you want - just additional steps to switch to the Collection view and also to maintain (drag and drop) the sequencing of the collection when you add additional photo files to a Collection.

  • Pictures not displaying in non-thumbnail sizes

    One of my clients has an iMac G5 running 10.4.11 and iPhoto 5.0.4. He's got about 3200 pictures in his iPhoto library which is about 12GB in size (they are all very large pictures). He's been using iPhoto without problem for years then suddenly he noticed that some pictures do not display in a slideshow. Out of the 3200 pictures he's narrowed it down so far to a few dozen pictures throughout his library. When we view the roll or the album with the pictures listed as thumbnails, we can see the picture just fine, but when we do anything that involves viewing at non-thumbnail size, such as double clicking on it or viewing in a slideshow it displays nothing. Slideshow just shows all black and double clicking on the thumb shows white with a spinning gear that never stops spinning. I rebuilt his library and that did not fix it. I repaired permissions, trashed iPhoto preferences, deleted tmp & cache files from his computer, I even zapped the PRAM out of desperation and nothing made any difference at all. One weird thing is that when it is siting at the white screen with spinning gear, if we resize the window smaller then resize it bigger, the picture will display properly but only for that time. It still will not display in slideshows.
    I tried exporting one of the troublesome pictures out of iPhoto to his desktop, delete the pic from iPhoto, then try re-importing it again. This time when we try to import it, iPhoto gives an error that the file couldn't be imported because it may be an unrecognized file type or may not contain valid data. I can open the pic on his desktop using Preview and Photoshop with no problems at all.
    Why am I posting this in the iPhoto '08 forum? well I copied the file to my MacBook Pro running 10.5.6 and iPhoto '08 and it almost does the same thing. I am able to import the file into iPhoto '08 and I can see the thumbnail but when I double click it, instead of a white screen with the spinning gear, i get a black screen and nothing else. I tried the trick of resizing the window and as I'm resizing, I do see a blocky image but as soon as I stop resizing the image goes black.
    I can open the file in any program on multiple computers: Photoshop, Preview, GraphicConverter, ColorSync Util, Safari, Firefox, etc. iPhoto version 5 and '08 (the only versions I have handy) refuse to work with the file. I've even edited the picture in photoshop by changing the resolution by just a few pixels and slightly tighter jpg compression but iPhoto still refuses to play nice with it.
    I have exhausted all options other than reinstalling the OS, but other posts I've read similar to this say that never fixes it. I am at a loss. What is wrong with iPhoto that it refuses to play nicely with pictures that work everywhere else in the world?
    I forgot to add that in Console there are several instances of iPhoto errors:
    "have info and image but no ciimage" and “have info and image but no ref”

    Clint:
    Try opening the file in one of the other applications that can use it and save as a new file and see if that new file is compatible with iPhoto. Or you might try this Automator workflow, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile, on one and see if the resulting file will work. If so you can batch change all of them. It replaces the file you run it on so be sure to run it on a copy just to be safe. You can download it from Toad's Cellar or download it immediately with this link: Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile.zip.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

  • Thumbnail Images Too Small

    I'm having a very big problem with my new iMac. The problem is the size of the thumbnails when opening a photo from an external program or uploading to a website. This is not a problem when browsing photos with the Finder. In the Finder, I see the little slider in the bottom right hand corner that makes it so you can enlarge. It is only the window that opens when you choose "open" from a program like Photoshop or by choosing "select photos" from a website like Facebook. The window that appears with the thumbnails of your pictures does not have the same slider that is present in the Finder to make the photos larger. I have tried changing the view to Cover Flow and at that point I can make my thumbnails about as big as I want, BUT, then I cannot view additional photos upon multiple selecting them.
    Is there anything that can be done about this at all. I use the larger thumbnails for nearly everything I do on my computer and it is almost grounds for divorce for me and my new iMac...I still love my iMac and don't want our relationship to end over this...hehehe...

    I don't know a way to increase that thumbnail size, but you can hit the space-bar while highlighting a thumbnail to see the image large-size (and then space again to zoom back out). While zoomed in, you can use the arrow keys to navigate around the file list. This works slightly differently when looking at images in Finder folders vs. images in your Media (Photo) library - in the former, a real "Quick Look" window appears in front of the file browser; in the latter, the image expands to fill the file browsing window.
